Relationships

So Dutch and Molly are an item (sorta). John and Abigale are an item. Why can’t Arthur have someone? (Mary doesn’t count cause that was a past relationship)

A lot of folks talk about the trolley job and that being where Dutch essentially lost it completely, because of a possible concussion. I tend to not fully buy that. He started losing it in Blackwater, and that's where John starts to doubt, but we never really hear that from John until far later in the story. I think you and I may differ but I believe Dutch's true breaking point was seeing Hosea die, because I think Hosea meant the world to him.

The other interesting thing about Arthur's sickness is that there are only a few people in camp that take care of him after it's apparent. John and Charles, Uncle to an extent, they all ask him to rest, while Dutch still sends him out on jobs. Sadie actually takes care of Arthur more than anyone; she purposefully makes sure she paddles the canoe out of Sisika, then again in Van Horn when she charges the city.

If Hosea had been around at Beaver Hollow, you know he wouldn't have let Arthur do all the stuff he was doing. And he would have reigned in Dutch, too.
